"When the three swords shot out together, they nearly caused that Mortal Supreme to die and his Dao to vanish. Such divine might absolutely cannot be merely comparable to a Grandmaster’s full-force strike."

"What? The three swords shooting out together actually nearly killed a Mortal Supreme like Eunuch Cliff?"

Jasper could not help but exclaim, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes, his heart churning with stormy seas. He had originally thought he already highly overestimated that Senior, but after hearing Oswin’s words, he realized he had vastly underestimated him.

Oswin was merely at the Grandmaster realm and perhaps could not fully comprehend that Senior’s might.

But Jasper was an established existence on the Great Grandmaster Ranking, so he understood that Senior’s power all too well.

The sword qi nurtured within a sword talisman was, at most, thirty percent of its creator’s prime strength.

Even sword talismans refined by the Sword Sect Master were no exception. This was the absolute limit a sword talisman could withstand.

Yet that Senior, with just three streaks of sword qi, nearly killed Eunuch Cliff. Such Sword Dao cultivation likely rivaled the Sword Sect Master directly.

If it were not for the fact that the Sword Sect Master was a mythical existence in Silver Willow’s Sword Dao and held too much weight in his heart, Jasper would have boldly guessed the master of the talismans was the Sword Sect Master himself.

Jasper’s sudden exclamation gave Oswin a massive fright, Oswin pretended to scold him. "Uncle Jasper, is there a need to be so startled? Everything I was about to say has been scared right out of my head by your shout."

Jasper did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Commander, you have no idea what a massive fortuitous encounter it is to have met that Senior in this lifetime."

"If this Senior is truly as you say, then his Sword Dao cultivation is likely not far off from the Sword Sect Master’s." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Commander, you absolutely cannot miss out on this person. If you can obtain his assistance, this old man dares guarantee that even if the South-Subduing King has experts as common as clouds, it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat this Senior."

To think this Senior’s cultivation is so profound! A trace of deep shock flashed through Oswin’s eyes.

He knew of the Sword Sect Master. Having reigned supreme over Silver Willow’s Sword Dao for two hundred years, the man was a true mythical figure among swordsmen.

Ever since the Sword Sect Master reached the pinnacle, it had been difficult for any sword cultivator in Silver Willow to even gaze at his back.

For this Senior’s power to directly rival the Sword Sect Master’s, looking across all of Silver Willow, he would absolutely be considered a top-tier great cultivator.

Only now did Oswin truly gain a real understanding of the master of the sword talismans.

However, immediately after, Oswin voiced his doubt. "Uncle Jasper, if the master of the sword talismans is so powerful, how did my friend obtain three such precious talismans?"

A trace of awkwardness appeared on Jasper’s face, he did not know how to answer. Figures of this caliber should be spending their days in secluded cultivation, sensing Dao Laws. How could they possibly have any connection with a mere Qi Condensation realm cultivator?

He had often heard Oswin mention this close friend, a lowly civil official in Inkwood Academy at the Qi Condensation realm.

The difference in their statuses was like that between clouds and mud. Why would a peerless figure gift personally refined sword talismans to such a person?

Unable to answer, Jasper changed the subject. "Commander, aside from this confusion, are there any other doubts in your heart?"

Oswin pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly, "Uncle Jasper, I feel that Senior seems to know me."

Jasper’s eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly pressed. "Commander, you are saying that Senior actually knows you?"

Oswin said with delayed realization, "Last night, right before we parted, that Senior called out my name and warned me to be safe. It is just that yesterday was fraught with danger, so I am not sure if I had told him my name or not."

Jasper’s eyes filled with urgency. "Commander, think again. Did you really tell that Senior your name yesterday?"

Oswin fell silent. His gaze flickered, and his brows furrowed tightly, he repeatedly recalled the scenes from the previous night. After a long while, he said with certainty.

"No. Although I do not know why that Senior knew my name, I am certain that yesterday, I did not tell him."

Last night had been extremely dangerous. Having narrowly escaped death, he had been in a state of panic, focused only on expressing gratitude to that Senior.

How could he have thought to introduce himself?

Receiving Oswin’s definitive answer, Jasper was overjoyed and could not help but laugh out loud.

"Commander, since this Senior could proactively call out your name, he must certainly know you! His intervention must have been because he sensed your danger and came specifically for you!"

"Commander, this Senior definitely has some connection with you. Think about it, over the years, have you unintentionally helped some unfamiliar existences, or rescued some unknown injured cultivators?"

Oswin could not help but rub his head.

Over the years, he had helped quite a few people, but as for rescuing unknown injured cultivators, that had simply never happened.

Oswin complained, "Uncle Jasper, I do not even know how many people I have helped over the years. If you count beggars, the number is countless, even if I rack my brains until they break, I could not figure out this Senior’s identity."

"What is more, Uncle Jasper, these sword talismans were gifted by their master to my close friend, who then passed them on to me."

"If we are talking about familiarity, the master of the sword talismans should be acquainted with my close friend instead."

"As for me, perhaps my friend mentioned my name in front of the Senior, which is why he could call it out so easily."

He had been too excited just now and had actually forgotten that these sword talismans were gifted to the Commander by his close friend.

A touch of awkwardness appeared on Jasper’s face.
